Vintage Calico Appliqueed Tea Towel

This was one of my entries in the 2013 Sweet Times in the Rockies Cake Show. As you can tell, my inspiration was the tea towel. All the decor is 100% edible. I used a color wash to get the green background and overlayed fondant to get my calico prints. Everything was outlined in brown food color/vodka to look like stitching. I won 1st place in Advanced Division, Tiered Cakes Category. Picture by Erin Schaefgen Photography.
